It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What airport is lori flying out of?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've got NY1 on in the background. It doesn't sound good at all.

Looks like I'm carpooling with my boss tomorrow. Go go team 4 hour commute!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

This is also the first time I won't make it in time for the memorial/birthday celebration for Alex which is going to make me wicked depressed on Thursday.

DJ, I managed to miss this before (bad skimmer, no biscuit.) I hope you can find time to do something for him, even if it's not with everyone else.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Go go team 4 hour commute!

Good lord. Will you have to stay late, or can you count those hours as part of your work day? I mean, you will be hanging out with your boss.

Well, he's going to want to get home to his kids, so I doubt we'll be staying that late. If it goes more than 24 hours, hopefully the company will sponsor some car service options. If not, I'll probably stay with my sister in Manhattan for a couple of days.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

DJ, I'm so sorry to hear you'll miss the memorial. These things are as much about the people you share it with as much as the person you remember. But you can remember him by yourself too--take some special time to do it, or something.

JFK, bon bon.

DJ, I'm sorry that things are conspiring to make it difficult for you to not make it to the memorial.

I'm so sorry, Daisy. That's rough.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Aww, DJ, I'm sorry you won't make it to Alex's memorial. How long has it been? It's weird, because it seems like it was only yesterday, but also like it was a long time ago.

I think of him from time to time.

that was one celebrity death that hit me hard. I couldn't bring myself to watch the show again after that.

We watched, in syndication. There were good moments, but he really was the heart of the ensemble.

I don't want to be Superman. I want to stay little and be next to Mommy.

More random drive-by:

It's slipping past bedtime here and operation Find Blankie has not yet achieved mission objectives.

E's security object was Tiny Superman, a figurine about 2.5 inches tall - very portable, but impossible to find at 2am. I remember trying to substitue Giant Superman (a stuffed object taller than the baby) with mixed success.

I am not thinking about tomorrow's commute. It is too late to think about things like that. However, since I worked about 1 hour today and spent the other 7 getting those last-minute guaranteed-delivery orders in, I will need to be enthusiastic and gung-ho tomorrow. Maybe the company bus will have camaraderie.
